Question

What is the measure of c? a = 15 j = 24 k = 32

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

a = 15

j = 24

k = 32

c = ?

Process

Use proportions to solve this problem. Compare the small triangle and the large triangle.

1.- Proportion of the small triangle

             c/15

2.- Proportion of the large triangle

            k/j

3.- Equal but terms and solve for c

            c/15 = k/j

-Substitution

            c / 15 = 32/24

            c = 32(15)/24

-Result

            c = 20
